Is GHK-Cu Used in Cosmetics?

Published 2026-10-26 · REVIVE Peptides Research Desk · 1 min read
Short answer: Yes. Under the ingredient name copper tripeptide-1, GHK-Cu has been used in creams and serums since the 1990s, following the companies Pickart founded, and it appears in many skincare products today. Cosmetic use is regulated as cosmetics, not as medicine, and makes no treatment claims. The 50 mg research pack is a laboratory material and is not a cosmetic product.

The topical literature is the only place GHK-Cu has been studied in people in any number, and those studies are small and mostly industry-run. The knowledge pages set out what they reported.

A reader comparing the research pack with a cosmetic is comparing different products with different regulation; this page states the distinction and no use of the pack.

REVIVE LAB UAE supplies the pack for laboratory research use only. It is not for human or veterinary use, and no dosing, administration or protocol guidance is provided.
